Hillary is more likely to take the country to war than Trump.

[californiabernin]

She is more at the interventionist end of the spectrum...Iraq war, regime change in Libya, etc., etc.

Trump is more cautious and non-interventionist. He has called both G.W. Bush and Hillary Clinton stupid for the war in Iraq.

Something to think about, perhaps.

1. Good lord

you know what, never mind. I don't even know how to respond

[californiabernin]

2. I do believe that.

Have you been listening? Do you know Clinton's record?

I an absolutely serious. Trump is no war-monger. He's all about being tough on trade, building walls, more guns in America, etc., but not not regime change and stupid wars. He's isolationist, really.

I see you edited your post to "I don't know how to respond." I understand your dilemma.

[gwheezie]

3. Yeah, he's so trustworthy

And he listens to the shows.

[californiabernin]

4. So Clinton is more trustworthy?

Clinton has a record. We know her modus operandi. She fancies herself "experienced in foreign policy" and always wants to have America's fingers in the fire somewhere. Makes her feel like she's accomplishing something.

Problem is what she tries to accomplish always makes things worse. Sanders understands why, and so does Trump.

Imagine that, something Trump and Sanders have in common!

21. Don't worry about responding...

it's South Carolina day.

The beginning of the end of the primary campaign.

28. Be careful what you wish for

You just might get it.

5. Hillary is very vulnerable on this very issue.

If Trump plays his cards right (left) he could take most of the Republican and Independents along with a good slice of anti-war Democrats. Hillary has nowhere to go to escape her record as a neocon. The sword rattling that worked in NY for her may be her demise elsewhere.

[californiabernin]

7. Indeed she is. It boggles my mind that more are not concerned about this.

I think if she's the nominee it will be Trump in a landslide. He will make her look both incompetent and dangerous based on her foreign policy record...err, wait, did I say "look?"

[leveymg]

11. Many of us at DU have been warning for years about HRC being trigger happy

Unfortunately, there are Rightwing Democrats who share that enthusiasm for military intervention. Fortunately, most Americans are thoroughly sick of optional wars and regime change and our involvement in genocidal civil wars. This will likely decide the election, and it looks like the party may be on the wrong side of this.

[Stand and Fight]

6. That's the crazy. That's just crazy to say.

Trump has said he is not opposed to using Nukes on ISIS... Despite civilian casualties. Tell me again how Trump is no war monger?

When asked by a Boston radio host whether he would consider dropping nuclear weapons on ISIS, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump refused to answer the question.

WRKO’s Jeff Kuhner asked Trump about the news that Russian President Vladimir Putin has threatened to nuke ISIS. “Would Donald Trump be open, like Putin, to using nuclear weapons to defeat Islamofascism and to wipe out ISIS?” he asked.

But Trump demurred on the question. “Now, understand what I’m saying; I don’t wanna give you an answer to that.”

Trump said he didn’t want America’s enemies to know his game plan. “Because part of the problem that we have with Obama is they’re so predictable, they give answers to everything. They sent troops over there and they announce they’re sending fifty people over there and now those troops have a target of their head.”

One of the more cringe-worthy moments of last week’s Republican debate came towards the end of the evening and dealt with, of all things, nuclear weapons. Hugh Hewitt asked Donald Trump, “What’s your priority among our nuclear triad?” To make things really easy for the GOP frontrunner, the conservative co-moderator went to the trouble of explaining what the “nuclear triad” is (bombers, missiles, and submarines).

Trump gave a long, meandering answer, which touched on a variety of issues unrelated to the nuclear triad. Hewitt, to his credit, tried again, asking, “Of the three legs of the triad, though, do you have a priority?”

The Republican candidate – who’d just been reminded of what the “triad” refers to – responded, “I think, for me, nuclear is just the power, the devastation is very important to me.”

8. Where in your post does Trump say he is not opposed to using Nukes on ISIS?

He said he doesn't want to give an answer. I understand why. Doesn't mean he's about to go nuke ISIS.

To dismiss Trump as crazy is in itself a crazy thing to do. It's easy to call those we disagree with "crazy nuts" and therefore dismiss them. Trump is not a regime-changer. He's no neocon.

Yes he says outrageous things and is the opposite of what everyone here would call "politically correct," but he's not crazy in the sense that you are suggesting.

I don't think the Clintons would have attended the wedding if they thought it was for some crazy person, do you?

[Stand and Fight]

9. Trump isn't crazy? Okay....

[californiabernin]

12. Yes. That is what I said, he's not crazy.

He's manipulative, a bigot, a bully, but no he's not crazy.

Any presidential candidate will say they will destroy ISIS. Refusing to answer the question about the nukes doesn't mean he would actually use them. He's just operating in the mode of don't tell your enemies anything they don't need to know.

[CBGLuthier]

10. Oh I am sure in her first year she would prove she has bigger balls than any male president

and what better way to do that than to bomb the shit out of some country halfway around the world. Nobody called George Bush a wimp after he got his hands bloody.

[californiabernin]

13. Unfortunately, I think you are probably right.

She's got the track record for it. And something to prove.

[actslikeacarrot]

14. As i've said before...

..she has never met an "overseas adventure" she didn't like. I cant even begin to speculate on what a president trump would do, but with Clinton I am almost positive there will be new or more boots on the ground somewhere within a year of her inauguration.

[zappaman]

15. Lol!

Keep trying.

[JustAnotherGen]

17. We are more likely to be invaded

If Trump is President.

[msongs]

16. she is also responsible for global warming according to DU lol. all powerful sounds like to me nt

[RBInMaine]

18. Either you're trolling or a Bernie supporter giving hyperbole a whole new meaning.

[sufrommich]

19. So vote Trump?

It sure is getting desperate around here.

[restorefreedom]

20. the reality of their positions on this issue means

that anti war indys and even dems might choose trump in a trump clinton matchup, especially when you add in his anti tpp stance, his apparent support for single payer, and his willingness to get campaign money, like drug company and insurance company lobbying, out of politics.

you might not like the way this might go, but that doesn't change the fsct that people are voting beyond party in this election. that will benefit trump.

[sufrommich]

24. Trump has vowed to destroy isis and "take

their oil fields". How does that happen?

[restorefreedom]

25. i don't know what he thinking. but if he is thinking this will be done

by OUR troops, he can look forward to the same reaction w got in iraq2

[californiabernin]

23. I won't vote for either Hillary or Trump.

[Vattel]

22. The country is already at war. And Trump has endorsed committing war crimes.

Clinton is a hawk, and so should not be president. Trump is dumb as a stump, prepared to commit war crimes, a racist, a sexist, a bully, and a fool. I have a hard time imagining that he wouldn't be hawkish. It's not a good idea to give an army to a nativist racist bully.

[braddy]

26. Trump was passionately calling for invading Libya in 2011.

[snagglepuss]

27. Hillary is a proven Chicken Hawk. nt
